Our Mission
At Active Schools, we believe every kid has a right to at least 60
minutes of physical activity before, during, and after school each
day – and every school has the responsibility to provide it.
Our goal is to make it easier for schools to provide an active
school environment.

A Vision That Kids Deserve
Reimagine school environments to provide opportunities for academic, social-
emotional and physical learning so that all children have the ability,
confidence and desire to lead active, healthy lives.

We Work on Two Fronts
We create a better reality by driving education system and policy change that engages champions, influencers and decision makers to increase support for physical learning,thus enabling schools to educate the whole child.
We support schools in their current reality by serving as a hub for best practices, programs and resources to increase physical education and physical activity opportunities for students.

Change is needed: American
students are not keeping up
National Report Card reveals
declines in student achievement in
math and reading by 4th and 8th
grade students
Lack of physical activity in school reduces learning readiness, attention and focus

During the past ten years, Fizika has worked with dozens of principals in large, small, urban and rural schools across the US.
The best principals have a laser focus on student success and staff wellness.
They recognize that most students are kinesthetic learners – who learn by doing, and at their own pace.
Professional development can help educators realize the benefits of brain-based approaches to learning: through movement, creative play and project-based learning.
Social and emotional learning needs are addressed through physical activity – students learn to respect personal space and see the value of teamwork.
Principals are key to academic and student
success
